Reliable Starter pistol

Ready to dump my current pistols( will actually keep them for backup)- way too many misses. Have to line it up just right and even then lucky to have 2 of 9 go off. Frustrating!
Training partner has an "ALPHA"- its NEVER misfired . What is everyone elses experience with it? Any others you can reccomend?
Thanks!!

Not cheap but it comes with a lifetime warranty and to be perfectly honest- I doubt that anyone will ever have reason to use it. It is the end of the "which blank pistols" discussion. Nothing else is even close.

We return you now to your regular GDG regards

I've used an Alpha .209 for the past 5 years or so as has my training partner. Never once had either misfire, not fire, break down in anyway etc... I try to remember to give it a good cleaning and douse of WD-40 from time to time but that's probably only happened 3 times since I've had it. I have not used or seen in person the GunX but I hear good things and the ALPHA is on the heavy side.
